Mantra Melbourne Airport

“Good place to stay near the airport”

We recently stayed at the Mantra as we had an early flight next day . The room on the sixth floor was very spacious with a good size bathroom as well.

We recently stayed at the Mantra as we had an early flight next day . The room on the sixth floor was very spacious with a good size bathroom as well. Good wifi and the room had a safe which is always handy plus tea and coffee making facilities. A great service as part of the deal is they arrange to pick you up from the airport after getting off the Sky Bus and take you to the hotel. Next morning the bus takes you back to the airport any time you want, a very good service. A comfortable stay before a long flight.

“OK... big room, comfortable enough”

I've stayed 4 times at this hotel. It's not the best location for airport stays... it's too far for my liking. I've had drama stating here in the past, with the shuttle bus, where I ended up taking a taxi instead... 3 times. This time we took the shuttle, but had to load and unload our own luggag… more

I've stayed 4 times at this hotel. It's not the best location for airport stays... it's too far for my liking. I've had drama stating here in the past, with the shuttle bus, where I ended up taking a taxi instead... 3 times. This time we took the shuttle, but had to load and unload our own luggage. So take that into account if you have big or awkward suitcases. The bus was pretty uncomfortable...could use some new suspension. And the driver was clearly in a hurry to knock off, he ran several red lights and made some of us quite ill on the 12 minute journey. Driver didn't speak once. The room at the mantra was fine, large, clean, all you expect. Only 1 pillow per person though. The room was freezing when we arrived (and I'm a hot person!) But if we turned the air off, it got very stuffy very quick. We tried a higher temp but was still freezing. The food at the restaurant was limited but OK. We had 2 complimentary drinks and were charged for one of them. I think this was rectified after we paid but it was $6 so I didn't bother to care. Overall... I'd stay here again only if was complimentary again. There's nothing really wrong, little things, but it's too far from airport for me when time is limited.

“Good value but not quite perfect”

There is a lot to like about the Mantra at Tullamarine. The staff are friendly, the rooms are nice, and the shuttle service to/from the airport is very much appreciated. I've marked the hotel down somewhat for two reasons. First, an email a couple of days before my stay asking about the shuttle ser… more

There is a lot to like about the Mantra at Tullamarine. The staff are friendly, the rooms are nice, and the shuttle service to/from the airport is very much appreciated. I've marked the hotel down somewhat for two reasons. First, an email a couple of days before my stay asking about the shuttle service and parking went unanswered and I had to call when I didn't receive a reply. Second, the hotel (like many others) keeps the rooms too warm, with no way of cooling them so that it's cool enough for the thick bedding. Overall though I'd happily stay there again if the price were right.
